Chapter 446: Narration
In the early morning of the next day, when Zhong Shiqing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, received a written notice from the emperor that they were allowed to go to the site of the case to conduct an excavation, Li Yuan came with the written statement he had written last night.

"Lord Zhong is slow, there is something to repay below." Li Yuan hurriedly stopped Zhong Shiqing, who was about to lead his subordinates to the scene.
When he said this, Li Yuan's heart beat like a drum.
Zhong Shiqing saw that Li Yuan looked like he was walking on thin ice, and realized that the latter should have something important to report, so he signaled his subordinates to take refuge for the time being, and invited Li Yuan into the house.
After sitting down, Zhong Shiqing said, "Lord Li, please speak." ā
In fact, Zhong Shiqing's whole heart can't wait to set off for the scene now, so he can't wait for Li Yuan to speak quickly.
Li Yuan took the statement out of his pocket, presented it with both hands, and said, "There is one thing that I have considered for a long time, and finally decided to be honest with you. ā
Zhong Shiqing felt a little inexplicable, and took the scroll he presented with curiosity, and unfolded it to look at it.
At this glance, Zhong Shiqing's eyes were round.
Li Yuan was only sixteen years old when Buxun had an accident, and he had been studying in the academy before, so those in the capital who had served in the officialdom for a long time might not have seen him, let alone Zhong Shiqing, a middle-aged high-ranking official.
After reading Li Yuan's statement, Zhong Shiqing fixed his eyes on Li Yuan's face several times. After a closer look, Zhong Shiqing found that Li Yuan's facial features were indeed somewhat similar to those of Bu Xun.
After reading this statement, Zhong Shiqing pondered for a while, stared at Li Yuan and asked, "Are you really Bu Xun's son Bu Jinhai?" ā
Li Yuan met his gaze and said, "It's true." ā
Zhong Shiqing looked at him fixedly for a long time, and said, "So, you have been working as Li Yuan in the past few years just to solve this case?" ā
"Yes."
Zhong Shiqing adjusted his sitting posture and said, "Do you know that you may be sentenced to death if you use a fake identity to participate in the scientific examination?" ā
"I know."
"Don't you care about being killed?"
"Honestly, I care, but my body and skin are all affected by my parents, and now they have been wronged, how can I only care about my own safety?"
Zhong Shiqing said: "It seems that you have made up your mind to do this." ā
Li Yuan nodded solemnly.
"Well, take us to your parents' grave."
"Yes."
The two of them then got up and set off.
Zhong Shiqing and Li Yuan and their entourage went on horseback, and it was already afternoon when they arrived.
Li Yuan led Zhong Shiqing and his men to the place where they were looking for the cemetery.
The place is already overgrown with grass due to the fact that no one comes all year round. They took out their knives and carved a path through the dense grass, and slowly walked to the graveyard of the couple.
If it weren't for the peach tree, it would have been difficult to identify the exact location of the cemetery.
Today, the peach tree has grown several heads taller than a man.
Less than a foot away to the right of the peach tree is the place where Li Yuan's parents are buried, and in the tomb next to the parents' cemetery are buried the servants of the Buxun family.
Looking at this place, Li Yuan's heart was surging.
Father, mother, the case of your murder is about to be closed, he said sincerely in his heart, and then pointed to his parents' cemetery and said to Zhong Shiqing: "This is it." ā
Zhong Shiqing nodded and arranged for his subordinates to excavate.
Considering that there was no coffin when Bu Xun and his wife were buried, Zhong Shiqing reminded his subordinates to be careful when digging.
Li Yuan also helped dig, and couldn't help shedding tears while digging.
However, this time it was not sad tears, but gratification, emotion, and indescribable.
Seeing the bones, everyone immediately switched to using small shovels to pick up little by little.
It didn't take long for the two corpses to be fully presented in front of everyone's eyes.
Looking at these two corpses, Li Yuan's legs were straight and weak, and he finally couldn't help but plop down and kneel, shouting "Father, mother".
This shout contains how much worry, sadness and indescribable complicated feelings.
The people present were also embarrassed.
Speaking of the beginning of the search for him, many of the people present had heard of it and knew that it was a person who was honest and honest, patriotic and patriotic and loved the people, but because he was too upright, he did offend many officials during his tenure. However, such a Qing official is exactly what the people of the country need, so many people are still sad after learning the news of his death.
Now that it has been determined that what Li Yuan said is true, Zhong Shiqing ordered his subordinates to rebury the soil.
After returning home, Zhong Shiqing immediately handed over this evidence to the third division.
At the same time, he also handed over detailed reports on the progress of the case to the emperor and the crown prince.
The emperor, who was suffering from mental illness, didn't want to read this report at all, and shouted frantically at Grandpa Zhang, who came in with it: "Get out of here." ā
Gonggong Zhang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department said that this matter is very important and needs your instructions. ā
It's not that he doesn't know that the emperor can't even take care of himself now, and there is no way to take care of other things, but as the emperor of a country, only he can decide these things, so Gonggong Zhang can only relay Zhong Shiqing's words.
I heard that it was sent by Shangshu of the Criminal Department, so the emperor reluctantly accepted it.
However, the emperor felt upset and irritable and blurred when he read the five lines of words, so he couldn't stand it anymore, so he said to Gonggong Zhang: "You can read it to me." ā
Gonggong Zhang hurriedly took it and read it to the emperor word by word.
The more he heard about it, the more surprised he became, and secretly said - there was such a thing.
Although the Buxun case has always been full of suspicions, the emperor never thought that Li Yuan would be Buxun's son, so this is not just a simple investigation of the murder of Buxun, but also involves the matter of participating in the scientific examination under a false name.
It has been more than 50 years since Hu Guo participated in the scientific examination under a false name, this Li Yuan, he actually concealed so many audit organs and successfully obtained the Jinshi, what a ridiculous and hateful thing.
If this thing gets out, what will others think of Cao Guo? What will he think of him as a king and the head of the relevant departments?
Undoubtedly, this is a very humiliating thing for the country. The emperor's expression became extremely serious.
His head throbbed again and again at this time, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support his forehead, and said, "Just deal with him according to the laws of the kingdom." ā
That's going to be cut in half.
When Gonggong Zhang heard this, his legs trembled with fright, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "This Li Yuan also participated in the scientific examination under the pretense of his name in order to find out the truth, and he did not intend to deceive the imperial court. ā
The emperor's head hurt as if he had been bitten by something, and he couldn't help but hiss, and the irritability in his heart immediately turned over the river and the sea.
"The country has always been strict with the law, and acts like his should not be tolerated in particular, needless to say, just do it." The emperor said, so in the report submitted by the criminal department, he wrote the words 'to be beheaded immediately after the case is completed'.
